“This has been an extremely eventful quarter for us, demonstrated by the successful product launches and initiatives that we have taken to consolidate branding and provide ease and accessibility for our consumers,” said Mr. Warren Wang, ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. CEO. “Our financial performance and highlights for the quarter are a testament to the popularity and demand for our CBD and hemp products. As a result, we continue to make significant progress in our business through our investments intended to grow the platform for our consumer product lines. Leading the sales for CBD and hemp products, the Company’s wholly owned foreign entity, CBD Biotechnology Co. Ltd. (“CBD Biotech”), was recently a featured exhibitor at the Vietnam Expo, and introduced our self-branded hemp-infused skincare line and hemp wine, which resulted in an overwhelming reception when our exhibitor inventory sold out within the hour. We have successfully become a key player in the Chinese markets, which is why we are confident the year ahead will be fruitful as we continue expanding our brand recognition for our industrial hemp products beyond China and throughout southeast Asia with the help of our recently appointed CBD Biotech CFO, Alex Hamilton.”
